Everyone who watched Rodrigo Blankenship kick pretty much instantly turned into a fan.

The glasses made the former Indianapolis Colts and Georgia Bulldogs kicker a fan favorite.

These days, he's trying to get another shot in the NFL.

Here's a look at that:

There are definitely some Blankenship fans out there who hope it works out for him.

Where is Rodrigo Blankenship?

Rodrigo Blankenship is currently an NFL free agent.

The glasses-wearing kicker last kicked in two games for the Arizona Cardinals in 2022 after two-plus seasons with the Colts.

Blankenship spent summer 2023 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he hasn't been under NFL contract since August of that year.

He never had a super long-distance leg, but maybe his video series will help get him another chance.
